In the guise of Abe Martin, Kin Hubbard graced the Indianapolis News's back page for twenty-six years with folksy humor. Combat photographer John A. Bushemi bravely faced the terrors of war and perished capturing its violence. Audacious automotive pioneer Carl G.

Boomhower, the dean of Hoosier biographers, brings together forty of the most notable figures from the nineteenth state.
